I think I've mastered the Art of Getting Lost. 🚉🚶♂️
That's not to say, hindi na ako naliligaw. Kasi ngayong gabi... eto na naman ako. Hahahaha.
(Just look at this road. Tahimik. Malamig. Malayo. 😂)
Magfo-4 years na ko sa Japan, pero naliligaw at naliligaw pa rin ako sa train rides!
(Wala kasing train sa Cebu kaya ganito! Excuses 🤣)
Pero grabe tonight.
I turned a 1-hour commute into 2 hours.
All it took was one wrong stop (or two!), a longer bus route,
and a walk in this crazy 2°C winter temp. 🥶
But finally, I arrived at my destination.
You see, when I say I've mastered the Art of Getting Lost, I don't mean na sanay na akong maligaw.
It's more about the mindset whenever bad things happen.
If this happened before?
I'd probably castigate myself.
I'd be easily frustrated or disappointed.
Now, I take life easier na.
No choice eh, naliligaw na nga!
Or baka mas na-embrace ko na lang ang "Shoganai" (しょうがない) Philosophy ng mga Hapon,
na ang ibig sabihin ay "wala na tayong magagawa."
HAHAHAHAHAHAH
Right now, I'm more forgiving to myself.
And basically, I've learned to enjoy the experience (and the view!).
Kasi diba? Dumating pa din ako sa destination ko. Mas natagalan nga lang, pero dumating pa din.
At alam kong alam nyo na applicable din ang konseptong 'to sa ibang aspeto ng buhay.
Minsan ko nang sinabi: NO BAD EXPERIENCES, JUST GOOD STORIES.
Sa bawat pangyayaring ganito sa buhay ko, ay isang bagong kwentong kapupulutan ko ng aral.
Kayo, when was the last time you got "lost" (sa byahe man o sa life)?
How did you handle it? Pa-share naman, kwentohan tayo! 👇
